I don’t know why the water at the Portbury Wharf nature reserve was so horrible today! First time seeing a whimbrel there. It didn’t pick the best place to stop for a drink and a wash, ew. Hopefully some rain will sort the scummy water out. #UKBirding

Chew Valley Lake again came good for me, serving up four juvenile Little Terns in the rain. A welcome addition to my Avon year list after dipping several on patch in Spring. No chance of pics today, so here's one seen on Severnside in September 2023. Pic: @severnsidebirds.bsky.social #ukbirding

Today we spied a large (500?) flock of Dunlin* in the distance at Chapel Pill (between Portishead and Portbury Dock). *there's probably a few little minglers in there too but at the distance it's too hard to tell.

It might just look like mud but at this time of year it's covered in birds. Here's some of the redshank.

I set myself the goal of seeing 200 species in the county of Avon in 2026. Today's juvenile Pectoral Sandpiper at Chew Valley Lake saw me hit that target with 3 months of the year still to go. It was too distant to photograph, so here's one I saw in Cornwall recently #ukbirding #birdingAvon

A few distant crops of today's Leach's Petrel off Severn Beach. Never as close as some of these wave skimmers usually show here. Fingers crossed for the appearance of our first Wilson's Petrel, with one seen less than 25 miles away in Glamorgan this morning.
